Agree with that last line (I'd take LA out though. LA is less desirable than Hell and in some ways actually *is* Hell. Miami is one step above Hell).

You telling a guy from Portland that he "cant afford Miami unless he lives in a ghetto" is something a 15 year old would say. Thanks for identifying your age to us all, its all coming together now.

It's the truth, what do you want me to say? People in Miami don't sugarcoat. We say it like it is. I know you midwesterners are a bit more passive aggressive. Sunshine, if you want I can give you my autograph?

What are you talking about? 6 of the top 10 farming states are in the Midwest (which is the North): Total Agricultural Receipts Ranked by State from StuffAboutStates.com

There are different ranking systems, based on cash receipts, # of farms, and so on, but all include at least half Midwestern states, some up to 8 of the 10.

Most of the farming and most of the manufacturing were based in "the north" throughout the country's history. There are other reasons why the South has lagged behind until very recently.

Not even the main focus of my point, but sure, let's focus on the other stuff.

I never said the South was the top crop producer, I said their economies are agriculturally focused. What you posted doesn't refute that point. However, the Southern states are still at the top when it comes to tobacco and cotton production, which is historically what is grown in the South.

Pearls before swine. You have to matter to give an opinion, first worry about how many people will miss you when you die not giving your opinion on se florida and expecting anyone to take you seriously.
